According to Heart & Hand, Rangers have rubbished a claim that Alex Lowry has rejected a new deal at Ibrox.
Football Insider reported on Wednesday morning that the 18-year-old starlet, who recently broke into the Gers first team, had thrown his future ‘up into the air’ by rejecting a new three-and-a-half-year contract.
Lowry’s current deal is due to run until the end of next season.
But Football Insider asserted that the club are looking to tie him down to improved terms amid interest from unnamed English sides.
The article notes that Lowry is a Rangers fan, suggesting that could help in future negotiations, but claims that he and his representatives knocked back an opening offer from the club.
However, just hours after the piece in question went live, its content has reportedly been refuted.
Rangers ‘rubbish’ Alex Lowry contract claim
Heart & Hand, an official Rangers media partner, say that the club have dismissed the report as ‘rubbish’.
Unsurprisingly, the update has been well received on social media, given how highly rated Lowry is.
He wowed supporters with his debut performance against Stirling Albion last month and has impressed in subsequent appearances against Livingston and Annan Athletic.
The teenage attacking midfielder has looked immediately at home in the first-team environment and there’s hope that he could go on to play a key role for the club for years to come.
Contract discussions may not have taken place yet, but it would be no surprise if a bumper extension was announced before the end of the current campaign.
Meanwhile, Rangers have been dealt a big injury blow ahead of their Europa League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
